How Hotel Rooms Affect Your Health & The Planet – JoAnna Abrams, Founder/CEO of MindClick

"We did a study where we shared the story of the careful thought that went into products that were better for people and the planet … Then we administered the standard guest satisfaction survey, and what we found, Joan, was 150% increase in satisfaction, loyalty numbers… Why?...They equated it to service. They said a hotel that goes out of its way to choose products that are better for me and the planet is a hotel that I have confidence is going to take better care of me while I'm there." JoAnna Abrams on Electric Ladies Podcast

 

With summer travel season is in full swing, a lot of us are staying in hotel rooms - 56% of us, according to the American Hotel and Lodging Assn. (AHLA) per year.  And business travellers stay in hotels a lot more - 77% of business travellers do. But did you ever think about what impact those rooms might have on your health? Or the planet's?
